Yes, I am concerned about the selection of Hilary Clinton as Secretary of State. Yes, her sometimes despicable husband can be a problem. Yes, she differs in perspective from Obama on some key issues. Yes, she can be annoyingly cold.
However no one can deny her stature among world leaders. No one can deny that she brings some unique gifts and experiences to the position. And no one can question the strength of leadership that Barack Obama possesses. He will lead a strong team. I personally await New Mexico Governor Richardson to be appointed to the cabinet.

Accreditation Assessment Team Invites Public Comment
The Brown Deer Police Department is proud to announce that it is scheduled for an on-site assessment to achieve accreditation through the Wisconsin Law Enforcement Accreditation Group (WILEAG). The on-site assessment is scheduled for the week of December 15, 2008.
The accreditation program requires agencies to comply with state-of-the-art standards in four basic areas: policy and procedures, administration, operations, and support services. The program consists of 234 standards that incorporate the best police practices; agencies are evaluated every three years. The Brown Deer Police Department is applying for our initial accreditation status.Once the Board's assessors complete their review of the agency, they report back to the full WILEAG Board, which will then decide if the agency is to be granted accreditation status. Accreditation is for three years, during which time the agency must submit annual reports attesting to continued compliance with those standards under which it was initially accredited.
Make Sure Your Address Is Visible From the RoadwayPlease take a few moments to make sure your home or business address is clearly visible from the roadway. Put yourself in the place of emergency response personnel; safely step out onto the curb in front of your home or business. Is your address marker clearly visible? If not, it may affect the time it takes for emergency personnel to locate your home or business in the event of an emergency. Time is a critical factor when responding to an emergency situation. The more clearly we are able to identify your home or business address, the more quickly our crews will be able to arrive at your location and administer life-saving procedures. So please, take a few minutes to make sure that your home or business address is displayed clearly. If your home or business is located a distance away from the roadway, please ensure that your address is clearly identifiable on your mailbox. In the event of an emergency; turn on the light adjacent to the entryway to your home or office to further illuminate your address marker.
Tips for Safe Christmas Shopping
The Brown Deer Police Department encourages citizens to be alert and cautious while shopping, especially during the holiday seasons. Don't become a crime victim this Christmas season. Here are some important safety tips to keep in mind:➤ Avoid shopping alone - if you do shop alone, let someone know you're expected location and time of return.➤ Immediately report suspicious persons and activities to police.➤ Carry a well charged cell phone.➤ Shop during the daytime when possible.➤ Be extra careful with purses and wallets. Carry a purse under your arm and keep it towards the front of you. Don't place your purse in a shopping cart. Keep a wallet in an inside jacket pocket or in a front pocket.➤ Check your purses/wallet before leaving each store to prevent leaving items behind.➤ Limit the amount of cash you carry.➤ Carry only the credit cards you're going to use that day & make sure you have the account numbers and creditor contact numbers recorded at home in case you have to cancel a lost or stolen card.➤ Park in well-lit areas when shopping at night and ask security to escort you to your vehicle.
➤Shop with friends or family members in numbers.➤ Keep your vehicle locked at all times and set your alarm.➤ Lock purchases and valuable items in your trunk, never leave items in your vehicle that are visible to the public. Stay aware of your surroundings while transferring packages from a cart to your vehicle.➤ Keep your hands free and avoid carrying an excessive number of packages. Have your vehicle key in hand and ready when walking to your car. Look at people around you.➤When leaving a store or before exiting your car onto the parking lot, scan the area and if anything, or any person, looks suspicious, wait and/or call the police. Visually check the back seat of your vehicle before opening the door and getting in.➤Teach your children to go to a store clerk or security guard and ask for help if they become separated in a store or shopping mall. The holiday season is a busy time for all, so please take a little time to plan your outings.
The Three P's of Safe Winter Driving:
PREPARE for the trip;PROTECT yourself; andPREVENT crashes on the road. PREPAREMaintain Your Car: Check battery and tire tread, keep your windows clear, put no- freeze fluid in the washer reservoir, check your antifreeze.Have On Hand: flashlight, jumper cables, abrasive material (sand, kitty litter, even floor mats), shovel, snow brush and ice scraper, warning devices (like flares) and blankets. Forlong trips, add food and water, medication and cell phone.Stopped or Stalled? Stay with your car, don't over exert, put bright markers on antenna or windows and shine dome light, and, if you run your car, clear exhaust pipe and run it just enough to stay warm.Plan Your Route: Allow plenty of time (check the weather and leave early if necessary), be familiar with the maps/directions, and let others know your route and arrival time.Practice Cold Weather Driving:
- During daylight, rehearse maneuvers slowly on the ice or snow in an empty lot
- Steer into a skid
- Know what your brakes will do, stomp on anti-lock brakes.
- Stopping distances are longer on water-covered and normal ice.
- Don't idle for a long time with the windows up or in an enclosed space.
Few presidents, if any, disgraced the office and damaged the nation as much as George W. Bush. Perhaps our lofty hopes for Barack Obama are unattainable, but we are left with little beyond that in the rubble of 2001-2009. Think of how low the image of the U.S. has sunk in the past eight years. Even our closest nation-friends grew to despise our actions. No democratic nation in the world thinks George W. Bush's military adventures and corporate hand-outs were the actions of a man of democratic intent. He is/was an ignorant bully with smaller nations. He had people tortured. He ran up astronomical budget deficits. He landed on an aircraft carrier with the boastful "Mission Accomplished" banner boorishly displayed. This military bravado from a man whose military "career" left a great deal to be desired.
Yes, there is no need to dwell on the failures and deviousness of President George W. Bush. The very title with his name attached makes one grimace and want to vomit. But unless there is a clear acknowledgment, the right-wing nutcases will continue to try and convince us otherwise. The man was an absolute failure...with the military, with the budget, with the infrastructure, with health care, with his "guardianship" of children, with the environment, with the elderly, with foreign affairs, with justice, with education, with medical science, with religion, with human rights, with our energy policy, ...the list could go on endlessly. He is what he is, he was what he was. To quote a recently-famous analogy: neocons can try to put lipstick on this pig, but it's still a pig. As a man with a master's degree in history, let me assure you that George W. Bush will go down in history as a sad, devious leader who greatly damaged the United States of America.
The Bailout List
I am becoming disheartened with the recent rash of bailouts coming from the United States government. Although it never seemed like a good idea, people like the secretary of the treasury convinced us that it would be the lesser of two evils. Yes, taxpaying Americans would now be forking over money to financial institutions who made bad decisions and paid executives millions in a heyday that was not too long ago. Some of these institutions were deemed too big to fail. Yet we have seen the results of what has happened when companies like Enron, WorldCom and others went bankrupt. It impacted a lot of people, some went broke, some went to jail. And America survived.
Now taxpaying Americans are being asked to fork over money to automobile corporations who made bad decisions and paid millions in executive bonuses in a heyday that was not too long ago. The United States should not be without domestic automakers. However, they must change the way he did do business and the way they handle their money. The American auto industry cannot and should not go the way of the American television industry. Names like Zenith, Curtis Mathes, and others proudly graced quality television sets over a generation ago. Now, everything is imported. Although, we have grown accustomed to this, I don't believe it would be in America's best interest to let this happen to the auto industry. I'm not really a fan of Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, or the rest. However, there may be a day when this would be all I would have to choose from. Whether I liked it or not, I will be driving an import.
Imagine the reason two presidents were put on trial, and then further imagine why George W. Bush escaped that. President Johnson's trial was a trumped up action, and so was President Clinton's trial. Clinton's private life is none of my damn business, just as George W. Bush's horrible private life is none of my business. But his direct actions as president ARE the business of every American. These actions have not only been atrocious and sometimes even inhuman, he has lowered the esteem and reputation of this nation. Compare how Clinton's private acts and Bush's official actions reflected on the nation and how it is viewed in the world. Clinton still carries respect and honor internationally, Bush does not.
George W. Bush illegally invaded a sovereign nation, Iraq. The claim that he was given faulty C.I.A. information is bogus. From the very beginning many of us who know the background and make-up of the Middle East screamed that he not invade. He lied to Congress and the American people. Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. Iraq is a sovereign nation. If we wanted to free people who were abused by a dictator, why didn't we invade nations whose atrocities against their citizens were at least as horrible as Saddam Hussein's: North Korea, Burma, Sudan, Zimbabwe, Batista's Cuba, Somoza's Nicaragua, Marcos' Phillipines, etc.???
Democrats tell us the Truth (..so they say)
In a few short weeks, all of the excessive ballyhooing from the Democrats who claim that George Bush is the worst president ever may soon have their own crow to eat. The reprise of a Democratic administration may have the characteristic of our most recent Democratic president-the continual scandal. There was a prediction made by a prominent media person in Milwaukee who has claimed that whenever a Democrat runs on a platform of reform, they turn out to be more corrupt than what they believe they would be flushing out. I thought this was a gutsy move by predicting this, however I do not find myself disagreeing.
This weeks news story concerning filling the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama is showing us that ethical politics do not often come out of Illinois. It doesn't make sense anymore to rehash the Tony Rezko, Rev. Wright, and the rest which were ignored largely during the campaign. However, like these individuals, scandals have a way of distancing themselves from Barack Obama much like a Nostradamus prediction. Once the scandal breaks, Obama makes a statement saying that he had no contact or communication with the wrongdoer, and the meetings, conversations, and everything else gets expunged from the public's mind. Although nobody sees it coming, the rape thing seems to have gotten done in hindsight. Figure that out.
As the CEOs of General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler sat before Congress, there was a growing tendency in American public opinion to shift blame to the UAW and the labor unions for the financial failure in the U.S. auto industry. Nonsense! Yes, auto workers in these corporations are well paid, but they NEGOTIATED their wage and benefit packages. These same CEOs were a part of the agreed labor contracts, and the corporate executives meanwhile enhanced their individual income packages EACH by many millions of dollars. If GM, Ford, and Chrysler had continued their sales growth, as Toyota and Honda did, there would not be this mess in the auto industry. No labor union ordered the U.S. auto makers to build huge SUVs, Hummers, etc. That decision was made by the heads of the industry.
It should also be pointed out that while auto workers in some other auto producing nations do not seem to have the benefits of U.S. workers, these other nations have paid national health care programs that are NOT a part of any "benefit" package that auto workers have to negotiate. All citizens in those nations have tax-paid health care. And there are more benefits that other nations' workers receive as a part of the general population's paid benefits. American costs for health care are going up and up at a rapid rate. And performence in U.S. health care is far below the industrialized nations of Europe. American health and life expectancy is far below that of other industrialized nations, yet it costs us far more. American health care is a scam. Auto workers in the U.S. are faced with these figures. But I cannot emphasize enough that the same CEO greedy dolts who sat before Congress were OK when the labor contracts were negotiated as long as the execs got their immense pay-off. So it is important to keep this all in mind, and not single out labor union workers.
As political hacks begin to power up for the arrival of a new president, it is important to recognize who put Barack Obama in the White House. It was far more than members of the Democratic Party. And Obama must realize that he is not the traditionally elected official who owes it all to one of the political parties. The Democrats have made a mess of their own party, and they could not have elected Obama. In fact, the two elections of a man of such low caliber as George W. Bush is ample testimony to the impotence of the Democrat Party.
Obama owes much to a wider group of supporters. His very campaign was outside the norm as he ushered in large numbers of new voters via the electronic networks. Expectations are high. Demands will be forthcoming. He will have to have keen insight into a wide spectrum of humane and progressive programs. Being a liberal will not be enough.
Obama to deny Wrongdoing
In what most must consider a surprise move, Barack Obama has denied all wrongdoing from his staff in the senate seat for sale scandal. This must come as is shock to anyone who has even a passing fancy with politics. One can almost visualize how this story rolled out: Obama calls on his transition team to gather in a room, Obama stands up and says, "If anyone is involved raise your hand." No hands go up. Obama then asks for his office of the president-elect placard and the press release begins. It becomes as anticipated as a Nostradamus prediction.
And what's up with that Caroline Kennedy appointment? There are actual reports questioning her qualifications for U.S. Senate. This seems somewhat unbelievable, after all, she's going after Hillary Clinton's seat. Isn't the Kennedy name qualifications enough? What do Senators do anyway? After reviewing the accomplishments of the last couple of congresses, it is apparent that they do not do very much. If she is unqualified for office and has no experience, she should fit right in with Obama.
The modus operandi of the neocons, fascists, right-wingers, bigots, etc. is becoming clear. First, make some general statement about warning that Obama will not be able to solve the problems facing us. Then remain silent. And when success by Obama is not immediately forthcoming, say, "I told you so."
It is amazing that for 8 long years of lies, budget deficits, illegal invasion of a sovereign nation, alienating most of our nation-friends, ignoring the UN, giving no-bid handouts to corporate buddies, savaging the environment, conducting secret energy meetings, torturing prisoners, holding people for years without charging them, sending troops to Iraq with inadequate equipment, stopping budgets for adequate vets' benefits, embarrassing the U.S. over and over, ruining healthcare and retirement programs, offering primitive solutions to education problems, hiding the president's background history, continuing the Bush family special contacts with Saudi royals, spying on innocent U.S. citizens, and causing a horrendous economic disaster, NOW the right-wingers want a fix for all this in months if not in days from Obama. Absolutely amazing.
Tis the Season to Tax and Spend
With re-worked bailouts, stimulus packages, and the re-awakening of credit, it's clear someone wants you to spend your money. Just a few months ago, when credit was really tightening up, Americans were becoming scared to spend money. Payments could not be made, interest rates were too high, owns for hard to get, and job losses were looming. The media had scared us all into thinking this was happening to everyone everywhere. And when we were convinced, we did not like the result. The stimulus checks that had come to us from the government did not get spent on things that we could not afford. Instead, some of them wisely got put towards retiring old debt, or possibly even saving. While living within our means is good for us individually, the economy as a whole suffers. So now, the task at hand is to get consumers to believe that they have unlimited income potentially, in unlimited time to pay off debts. Asset appreciation will soon be on its way back. It's time to forget about the tough times already. Thank goodness we somehow survived.
On the aggregate, government is once again perceived as the savior to the economy. President elect Obama, with placard in hand, will try to convince Americans to spend their way out of this recession. And of course government wants to do its part. Deficit after deficit will be piled up higher and higher in about half the time. The United States government will spend $1 trillion more than it has in one year alone. It used to take three years to reach the trillion mark even in bad times. The United States government wants to revisit the depression years and the huge deficits racked up by President Roosevelt believing this brought us the prosperity we remember so nostalgically. Displaced workers from the auto industry, financial industry, and retail will all be lined up to apply for jobs building bridges and laying highways. Once they're completed, how will they be used? Will we still have cars?
Blog Oy Vey Itch and Other Acts of Political Chutzpah
It's funny. When I don't write a column for a few weeks at a time, the stock question is "Why haven't you written something in a while?" But when I actually do get around to posting something new, I get, "Why did you have to write about THAT?"
After being pretty consistent before the election, why did I slow down? Why, you ask, did I post only one little blog giblet for Thanksgiving? Well, what can I say? In the wake of the election, everything at once became...perfect. No complaints. No problems. Everyone was happy. We made history electing our country's first African American POTUS. We made history by having the first competent, presidential-looking president this millenium. And, as I might humbly note, the title of my little internet-based journal here is Roasted Nuts. Who was left to roast? The planets were aligned in perfect harmony.
Halliburton, oil corporations, Americans making over a million dollars a year, pharmaceutical corporations, insurance companies, Lockheed, General Electric, energy companies, Donald Rumsfeld, John Ashcroft, U.S. Supreme Court, Congressional Republicans, pentecostal churches, Pat Robertson, ammunition companies, the Saudi family, banks, investment tycoons, Mr. Madoff, Mr. Chablani, Dick Cheney, neocons, right-wingers, fascists, Burlington [Wis.] Liars Club, FoxNews, Washington Times, Rush Limbaugh, No Child Left Behind masqueraders, vouchers schools, union busters, No New Taxes groups, Blackwater, Phyllis Schlafly, NRA, John Birch Society, Flat Earth Society, creationists, Bob Jones University, KKK, fundamentalists, torturers, military-industrial complex, gun store owners, Bill O'Reilly, etc. We owe you a great deal. Holiday blessings to you, Mr. President.
Of course there is room for forgiveness for all the lies, deceptions, mistakes, and general crookedness of the administration of George W. Bush. But Mr. Bush will have to do more than simply make his last lap as president with a solemn and melancholy look on his face. Honesty, openness, and forgiveness requests will be honored. Until then, let us never, never forget what he did. He brutalized the reputation of the United States, he gave handouts to the richest Americans at the expense of the poor and middle class, invaded a SOVEREIGN nation illegally, lied over and over to the American people, screwed up an already unfair health care system, cheated the military veterans out of needed benefits, took a federal budget surplus that he inherited and turned it into an economic disaster that our children and grandchildren will pay for in far more taxes, ignored warnings about the pending 9-11 disaster, held secret energy meetings in which the American public was forced to hand over trillions of dollars unnecessarily to Bush and Cheney corporate buddies, the invasion of Iraq set up al Quaeda in that country for the first time, his policies in the Middle East greatly enhanced the power and influence of Iran, gave no-bid and no-accountabiity contracts to Halliburton, Blackwater, etc., acted as a Saudi surrogate as he again carried out horrible plans to help the Saudis illegally as his father and grandfather had done, endangered the health and safety of every American with policies that harmed the environment and hampered the Environmental Protection Agency, approved actions that tortured people, snooped on innocent American citizens, held thousands in Guantanamo without ever charging them with any crime, and this despicable list goes on endlessly.
To claim that he protected us is the height of folly. His administration proactively sought to silence the EPA from releasing data about harmful products, including some that harmed babies. Some kind of protection. His administration greatly hampered stem cell research that might already be helping persons suffering from Parkinson's, Lou Gehrig's Disease, and a host of other crippling illnesses. Some protection. 4,300 Americans have lost their lives in Bush's illegal war in Iraq, Some protection. His administration pushed policies that greatly harmed the environment and endangered the future for our children and grandchildren. Some protection. He hampered additional funding for military veterans. Some protection. He sat on his hands as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict escalated, and now, finally, got involved at the end of his administration. Some protection. He sat by and dropped negotiations with nuclear-armed North Korea. Some protection. More and more people are now without healthcare insurance than in 2001. Protection? Our food banks cannot keep up with the avalanche of people needing help. Protection? The Bush administration has actively put in place programs and policies that have greatly hurt millions of Americans.
The Age of the Bailout
I have finally settled on what I think will be my Christmas wish for 2008. Or should I settle on what my Christmas wish should be for 2008? Oh, if there was just enough money for everyone to be happy. As we know, what we wish for does not really make a whole lot of difference. And of course, there is no way of determining how much money everyone would be satisfied with. And if I thought it would make everyone happy, I would be dead wrong.
Earlier in the fall, Americans were convinced that the government should give obscene amounts of money to private corporations to keep them financially stable. If we didn't, we were scared into thinking that the whole financial system as we know it would collapse. Whether or not it would, we really don't know. But we didn't rush through Congress a huge bailout bill with few strings attached and few questions asked. One thing we did not want to, was that this bailout money would go to the executives of these failing companies in the form of bonuses. And of course, that happened.
New Year's Resolutions
As we cross the threshold from 2008 to 2009, the time comes for many people to write down some New Year's resolutions. And of course, they always include the perennial lose weight, exercise more, stop smoking, swear less, etc. etc. etc. And because these New Year's resolutions primarily focus on our bad habits, the things we wish to change about ourselves to make us better some how, usually last for about two weeks. Whether that is good or bad, I don't know. Focusing on bringing ourselves of bad habits is usually doomed to failure. So why even do it?
I don't advocate making New Year's resolutions however, if you would allow me to toss out a suggestion that may set an attitude, a word of caution, to set a tone for 2009 albeit it is still negative. Here it is: beware of the tax and spend liberals. Yes, they were all happily elected a month or so ago and now in January, the new government sessions began in the tax-and-spend liberals will be glad as can be to raise every tax that they can.

They may be used to charge batteries or for the direct supply of DC load to load switches or to DC motor driven applications. Inverters convert a DC input voltage into an AC voltage. They are used whenever AC voltage has to be supplied from a protected DC supply. Converters are used in a variety of systems where a precise DC output voltage is required both transformer and transformerless.
AEG Power solutions offer a range of Thyristor based 1 and 3 phase industrial chargers and rectifiers delivering DC outputs from 9A up to 2500A. Our modern, modular heavy duty industrial design ensures that we can supply a robust, flexible, highly available solution to meet with the needs of your industrial requirements. Able to accept a wide range of battery types and with inbuilt n+1 levels of redundancy, rectifiers and industrial chargers we meet or exceed the highest of international standards for this type of equipment.

Hi - i tried to install custom 4.0 firmware last night but something went wrong. During the full restore it hangs for hours. When i reboot it shows the pineapple and then the steve jobs cartoon.
Whenever I try to restore it hangs during the process. No error messages. Tried DFU mode and recovery but i'm not sure if i'm able to correctly enter dfu mode.
Any suggestions?

2Pac – Me Against The World Lyrics
It's just me against the world
It's just me against the world, baby
I got nothing to lose
It's just me against the world
Stuck in the game
Me against the world, baby
[Verse 1: 2Pac]
Can you picture my prophecy?
Stress in the city, the cops on top of me
The projects is full of bullets, the bodies is dropping
There ain't no stopping me
Constantly moving while making millions
Witnessing killings, leaving dead bodies in abandoned buildings
Can't reach the children cause they're illing
Addicted to killing and the appeal from the cap peeling
Without feeling, but will they last or be blasted?
Hard headed bastard
Maybe he'll listen in his casket -- the aftermath
More bodies being buried
I'm losing my homies in a hurry
They're relocating to the cemetery
Got me worried, stressing, my vision's blurried
The question is will I live? No one in the world loves me
I'm headed for danger, don't trust strangers
Put one in the chamber whenever I'm feeling this anger
Don't wanna make excuses, cause this is how it is, what's the use?
Unless we're shooting no one notices the youth
It's just me against the world baby
[Hook x2]
[Verse 2: Yaki Kadafi]
Could somebody help me? I'm out here all by myself
See ladies in stores, Baby Capone's, living wealthy
Pictures of my birth on this Earth is what I'm dreaming
Seeing Daddy's semen, full of crooked demons, already crazy and screaming
I guess them nightmares as a child
Had me scared, but left me prepared for a while
Is there another route? For a crooked Outlaw
Veteran, a villain, a young thug, who one day shall fall
[Verse 3: E.D.I. Mean]
Everyday there's more death, and plus I'm dough-less, I'm seeing more reasons
For me to proceed with thieving scheme on the scheming and leave they peeps grieving
Cause ain't no bucks to stack up, my nuts is backed up
I'm bout to act up, go load the Mac up, now watch me klacka
Tried making fat cuts, but yo it ain't working
And Evil's lurking, I can see him smirking
When I gets to perving, so what?
Go put some work in, and make my mail, making sales
Risking 25 with a 'L', but oh well
[Hook x2]
[Verse 4: 2Pac]
With all this extra stressing
The question I wonder is after death, after my last breath
When will I finally get to rest through this suppression?
They punish the people that's asking questions
And those that possess, steal from the ones without possessions
The message I stress: to make it stop study your lessons
Don't settle for less - even the genius asks his questions
Be grateful for blessings
Don't ever change, keep your essence
The power is in the people and politics we address
Always do your best, don't let the pressure make you panic
And when you get stranded, and things don't go the way you planned it
Dreaming of riches, in a position of making a difference
Politicians and hypocrites, they don't wanna listen
If I'm insane, it's the fame made a brother change
It wasn't nothing like the game
It's just me against the world
[Outro: 2Pac]
That's right
I know it seem hard sometimes but uhh
Remember one thing
Through every dark night, there's a bright day after that
So no matter how hard it get, stick your chest out
Keep your head up, and handle it

On Saturday, Dec. 15, my daughter and her boyfriend were involved in a car accident on Upper Middle Road, near Guelph Line.
I would like to thank the bystanders who helped them out of the overturned vehicle. I would also like the kind lady who sat with my daughter until the EMS workers arrived.
I would also like to thank the EMS workers, who not only took care of our kids, but who kept a frantic mom calm. Everyone was wonderful and comforting, from the police officers, the firefighters and the paramedics. It was a very scary situation for the kids and their families so I cannot thank the bystanders and EMS workers enough.
Karen Matos, Burlington

Mayor Julian Castro is admittedly a little nervous about speaking at next week's Democratic National Convention.
"I'm nervous about the whole thing," Mayor Castro said.
Who wouldn't be nervous? Mayor Castro will address an expected 35,000 people, and that's not including the 15,000 members of the media.
If that's not enough to leave him shaking, he'll also be sharing the stage with First Lady Michelle Obama.
Still, Mayor Castro says by Tuesday he'll be ready with a speech that will reveal his personal journey.
"I'm going to talk about my family story. The context of creating opportunity in America. How our nation has been the land of opportunity, and what we need to do in the future to ensure that that path to opportunity is sustained," Mayor Castro said.
Saturday morning Mayor Castro, with his wife Erica, daughter, and brother Julian by his side, said goodbye to a room of hundreds of supporters.
With all eyes on him, Mayor Castro said right now his focus is on making his city proud.
"I've had the opportunity to get the speech down and start to practice it, now it's just a matter of calming the nerves down and making sure that I do a good job on Tuesday," Mayor Castro said.

Since beginning in November of 2011, NNSR has been offering the communities of Sparks and Reno an opportunity to remain active through a number of its leagues and programs. And one of its most popular leagues is youth basketball.
In Sparks, almost 300 participants make up the youth leagues from kindergarten through sixth grade, along with 50 kids participating at the middle school level.
"The turnout for the winter basketball programs has been fantastic," said Sundeen, Director of NNSR. "I get a lot of informal feedback just from talking to people. It varies because you're going to have your issues one way or the other sometimes, but most of our people are just happy that we're still providing a youth basketball program. They enjoy the premise behind the program and that every kids gets to play. Our philosophy is for them to have fun and learn the game and our volunteer coaches have done a really good job of making sure that happens."
Sundeen, who also ran the same program for the YMCA before it closed, said there is a familiarity with how the leagues are operated. While the product on the court for NNSR has been a success, Sundeen said there have been a handful of hurdles to overcome in comparison to his time with the YMCA.
"There's not a ton of differences, there's just a bit more challenges," he said. "One of the biggest differences and challenges is that the building is now Excel's building, so I'm kind of at their mercy some times and have to schedule around some of their events, which is a little bit challenging.
"Ultimately though that is a small challenge as it goes with my ultimate goal of continuing to provide a recreation basketball program. So I'll take the good with the bad because I still have a place to run the program. Having to deal with those things is just a minor issue. Other than that, it's just trying to learn what works and what doesn't work so we can continue to try to improve the program itself."
Part of the difficulty that comes with scheduling league play within in another organization's building is there is no real room for expansion. While Sundeen is happy with program numbers, he said NNSR couldn't really afford to take in more players.
"It's not like I could have taken more participation because the schedule is pretty tight as it is," Sundeen said. "So I couldn't really take a lot more registration than what I currently have. The challenge that I face the most that I need to try to improve on is to find somehow and some way for more gym space so that more kids can sign up."
Northern Nevada Sports and Recreation will soon have to arrange court time for a whole new group of teams. With the eight-week program for the youth leagues wrapping up, and the boys middle school league finishing the first week of April, NNSR is now getting set to prepare for its spring sports season.
Outside of the gym, NNSR is offering a flag football league set to kick off on the week of April 1. Inside the gym, adult 5-on-5 men and women's basketball leagues, as well as a 3-on-3 league and co-ed volleyball are set to begin April 8. The main growing area Sundeen is hoping for though is within the NNSR's high school basketball league, which starts March 18.
"Last year I had three teams, but I'm hoping for more," Sundeen said. "Recreation programs for middle school and high school programs are so underserved. My biggest challenge there is just getting the information out to the student.
"That's the hardest thing, just how do you get that information to those students. It's definitely a program that is wanted and needed for those age groups because if you don't play on the high school or middle school teams, then there's not a lot of rec programs for those kids to participate in. So we're trying to create kind of a niche there with both those age groups so kids that don't make the team have something else that they can do."

AUSTIN -- Hundreds of people headed out to Camp Mabry Sunday for the annual Operation Green Santa holiday carnival. There was music, food and lots of fun for the kids.
The holiday festival to support military families came complete with games, cotton candy and, of course, jolly Old Saint Nick.
Operation Green Santa started five years ago. It was the brain child of U.S. Army soldier Adam Huckstep and his mother Tracy Laporte.
"Everything started because of my son. When he joined the military, I could not find enough stuff out there to support. And then I started going further and further and realized that there's just, not only not support, there's a lot of need out there," said Laporte.
This year's event is bittersweet for organizers. The soldier who started it, Seargent Adam Huckstep, was killed this past February in a motorcycle accident.
More than 150 motocyclists -- including Huckstep's mother -- rode into Camp Mabry, bearing gifts for the military children. Their way of supporting families in need and honoring the man who started this.
"I'd give anything to have him back. I'd give all this up too. I would tell every one of these people to go home, take your toys somewhere else, but it is because of him. So there's no way I'll stop it. We'll continue operation Green Santa," she said.
It's a project to give back, continuing the legacy of a fallen solider.

The best of Tokyo Autumn/Winter 2013/14 Fashion Week
Tokyo Fashion Week took place the same week as our fashion week here in Toronto (TWINSIES) last month. Here in Canada, the weather was still appropriately chilly enough to keep us in the spirit of the Fall/Winter collections that were being shown, though the story in Tokyo was a bit different with the sakura trees in full, pink bloom.
Tokyo fashion is known for a lot of things, most notably for not being boring, and I have to say, in this regard the collections did not disappoint. Streetwear tends to reign supreme, and you can always expect to see a lot of playing with pattern, colour, and proportion. Most importantly, Japanese designs are always fun.
First of all, how could you not like this collection based on the name alone? Japanese brands always have the most delightful names (there is a store in Shibuya called Nude Trump, which is probably my favourite). MR. GENTLEMAN is the brainchild of two Tokyo veteran designers, Takeshi Osumi from menswear brand PHENOMENON and Yuichi Yoshii, who is known for organizing the VERSUS TOKYO shows.
The look at MR. GENTLEMAN is classic English prep with a twist. The preppy look is pretty popular in Asia, but because it doesn't have the same cultural connotations as it does in the West, Asian designers tend to have a lot more fun with it. In this collection the tweed shorts are paired with matching boutonnieres on the jackets, and dress shirts have boxy, high collars.
You'll find the full collection here.
Pronounced "Facet-asm," Facetasm has become one of the more well known Tokyo fashion brands since its debut in 2007. Facetasm is classic Japanese streetwear through and through. The A/W 2013 collection is pretty futuristic looking, but some of the skirts almost look like pleated kimono. This kind of haphazard layering is very Japanese. I'm pretty sure I could never pull it off, but here it looks amazing.
Leather and shearling manskirts make up the menswear side—this is not the only collection that seemed to have them. I officially call a trend! Facetasm's certainly look like they'll keep your junk warm and cozy (feel free to use this in your marketing copy, Facetasm).
The full collection can be viewed on Style.com.
Gut's Dynamite Cabarets
See what I mean about the names? I don't think I would want to go to a gut's dynamite cabaret though. Sounds messy. Gut's Dynamite Cabarets is notorious for its drag queen following. It's definitely a fun, edgy show, and A/W does not disappoint: love all the fur and patterns. I think some of those coats might even be warm enough to survive a Canadian winter. I am also in lusting for the tights in this show (LEOPARD PRINT!). Japan has the best patterned tights ever, and this will not be the only show in which you see them. I even know where to buy them, but unfortunately I am neither short nor thin. Someone please buy some and make me insanely jealous.
See the full collection at Women's Wear Daily.
Dresscamp really played with pattern and structure, and this collection has some really amazing detailing that only becomes apparent up close (this dress, for example, whose skirt is actually made up of small, laser cut and edged pieces of fabric). Leopard print is also heavily featured. For women, flower inspiration is evident (a bit weird for a winter collection, but I guess that's probably the time of year when you need to look like a plant the most). In menswear, the military, both past and present, seems to be heavy influences.

Mercibeaucoup's fall 2013 collection is for the free spirit in all of us who doesn't believe in tight pants, or tops, or really feeling constrained by their clothing at all. This free spirit is also obsessed with soccer. This is an extremely Japanese collection, with a typically Japanese sensibility towards both prep and streetwear. And while it's not really my personal style, I definitely want this graphic, oversized sweater in my closet.

Anrealage definitely falls under the spectrum of classic and pretty, but regardless I absolutely love this collection (especially the dresses that are inspired by kimono). Also love? The wigs made out of paper. This is also one of the few collections where the models are wearing a heel. It's a very low heel too. I'm not sure why (maybe it's because everyone has to walk and commute so much), but flats or platforms rule the Tokyo streets more than heels do, and that's been reflected in pretty much all the fall collections. See the full collection at Fashionising.
Jotaro Saito
Jotaro Saito is one of Japan's youngest kimono designers (he launched his first collection at 27), and he comes from a long line of traditional Japanese fashion artists. His grandfather was a dye artist, and his father is also a kimono designer. Jotaro Saito takes a different, more modern approach to kimono design, however. Saito aims to design "kimono as fashion matched with modern space." His kimono definitely are cut and patterned in a much sleeker, more modern style (and definitely with a bit more leg showing). I particularly love the patchwork look on the women's kimono, and the braided belts on the men's.
See the full collection here.
Pretty much all of the jackets in this collection are perfect and I want all of them on me right now, but especially the blazer-y one. No wait, especially this sheer, cape-y one. And the flower peplums! So much good tailoring at Araisara. I mean…great? Too busy coveting to care.
See the full collection at Fashionising.
motonari ono
Motonari ono's fall/winter collection is also completely killing it on the coat and blazer front. While it is largely warmer in Japan than in North America in the winter, but I'm still not sure why we're seeing so many tailored shorts with bare legs looks across a lot of the collections. At motonari ono, they're small and floral, and wouldn't look out of place on a Mori Girl (albeit a very high fashion one).
See the full collection here.
Christian Dada
It's like The Crow decided to give up revenging and became a fashion designer. This is a compliment, because there are GIANT BLACK WINGS ON THE SHOES. HOW IS THAT NOT THE BEST THING EVER? This collection does not give a fuck about looking pretty, and you've got to love that.

experiences almost unbelievable with snowstorms, boxed canyons, thick cedar and pine forests, and food shortage. Their experience almost made the journey of the good Chtholic Escalante, look like a picnic party." " Just before reaching the camp of the few men left of the party who went out in the spring, the four scouts met two miners who were making a start to hunt for the lost Pashelkine mine, reported by Navajos and others as being very rich in silver. The mine had been worked by Navajos hut had been lost, as the few Indians who worked it were killed off by the soldiers when they were being- rounded u p several years before to be taken to Santa Fe. These prospertors tried to persuade the Mormon scouts to go out with them, promising that they would lay over for them and would let them in on the big mine, which they said was a 'sure' thing. Had the Latter-day Saints scouts fallen for this wild proposition, it might easily have resulted in failure for the San Juan Mission, at least at that early date. The two miners, Merick and Mitchel, were killed by the renegade Paiutes and Navajos as they were returning with their pack animals loaded with ore supposed to be from the lost mine. T h e Mormon men would most likely have met the same fate and the company could not have got the news of what became of them for a month or two. r\ great portion of the camp were discouraged because of the rough country and other difficulties and such an event would have been enough to finish thc whole undertaking." "When the four explorers returned, they reported that it wsould be possible to make a road through to the San Juan, as hy far the roughest and most difficult country was at or near the Hole-in-the-Rock or within a few miles of the Colorado River where the work was heinx pushed as fast as possible with tools that were in the camp."" The first and most difficult obstacle was at the very top of the hole. By climbing about fifty feet u p an incline of approximately 25' along the edge of the narrow slit, the men found themselves at the brink of a sheer drop of forty-five feet. I t was now necessary to rut sway that huge block of solid sandstone in order to approach the lower portion of the notch whirh the leaders considered feasible for a road. From the base of that forty-five foot drop the crevice broadened somewhat, being wide enough for wagons in most places. But it was exceedingly steep, with a grade of approximately 45 degrees, full of its and strewn with huge boulders. This condition continued for approximately a quarter of a mile, or about one-third of the distance to the river. From that point the notch fans out still more into a sort of canyon.' "A long and interesting story could be written about the travels and w0rking.s of this large, well-organized, good natured, jolly camp, but for 81

The Pro Triangle Group has gone through many changes over its existence, and maybe this will be a new era for this group.
I have tried very hard to keep this group active, and with all my other tournies, I have decided to find a successor to this group. It has 30 members and is a great place for someone to start if they want to run a successful group.
You're not confined to 1 sport, but you have three to work with, and attain bloggers for. If you are interested in taking ahold of this group, fanmail me, or write something in the comments.
I am hoping to hand this group over to someone reliable, and will try to make this group as good as possible...if you feel like you fit that persona, than contact me.

The Humboldt County Sheriff's Animal Shelter will be hosting our annual Holiday Open House on Saturday, December 8, 2012 from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. The public is invited to come to the shelter to celebrate the eight anniversary of the Animal Shelter, which has housed over 16,000 animals since it has been open. The shelter officially opened December 22, 2004. There will be cake, cookies and punch, and staff will provide tours of the shelter. Animals will, of course, be available for viewing and adoption. The shelter will again have Memorial Stars available, as well as raffle items. The Memorial Stars can be purchased and hung in the Animal Shelter in memory of a pet - past or present. The proceeds from the stars and raffle items are applied to the shelter's emergency medical fund, which is managed by Friends for Life Animal Rescue.

Prince of Tyre. &c.
Enter Gower.
¶TO sing a Song that old was sung,
¶From ashes, auntient Gower is come,
¶Assuming mans infirmities,
5To glad your eare, and please your eyes:
¶It hath been sung at Feastiuals,
¶On Ember eues, and Holydayes:
¶And Lords and Ladyes in their liues,
¶Haue red it for restoratiues:
10The purchase is to make men glorious,
¶Et bonum quo Antiquius eo melius:
¶If you, borne in those latter times,
¶When Witts more ripe, accept my rimes;
¶And that to heare an old man sing,
15May to your Wishes pleasure bring:
¶I life would wish, and that I might
¶Waste it for you, like Taper light.
¶This Antioch, then Antiochus the great,
¶Buylt vp this Citie, for his chiefest Seat;
20The fayrest in all Syria.
¶I tell you what mine Authors saye:
¶This King vnto him tooke a Peere,
¶Who dyed, and left a female heyre,
¶So bucksome, blith, and full of face,
25As heauen had lent her all his grace:
¶With whom the Father liking tooke,
¶And her to Incest did prouoke:
¶Bad child, worse father, to intice his owne
¶To euill, should be done by none:
30But custome what they did begin,
¶Was with long vse, account'd no sinne;
¶The beautie of this sinfull Dame,
¶Made many Princes thither frame,
¶To seeke her as a bedfellow,
35In maryage pleasures, playfellow:
¶Which to preuent, he made a Law,
¶To keepe her still, and men in awe:
¶That who so askt her for his wife,
¶His Riddle tould, not lost his life:
40So for her many of wight did die,
¶As yon grimme lookes do testifie.
¶What now ensues, to the iudgement of your eye,
¶I giue my cause, who best can iustifie.
